I’d like to get into android gaming if there is anything good out there. I am open for any genre but I have a few requirements

Has to be either free or have a free way to get it

Has to not be riddled with spyware (hard ask I know lol)

No mandatory accounts

Offline if possible

Preferably controller support out of the box

Is this too much to ask? Any recommendations?

Should I just look at what other old console games I can get?

  • I want to add OpenTTD and Battle for Polytopia to the list.
    OpenTTD is a free as free can be transport simulation. You have to get used to the controls, but I had some fun with it on my android tablet. Although I prefer to play it on PC.
    Battle for Polytopia is a Civilization style game with awesome Voxel graphic for mobile devices. One game in standard mode lasts about an hour. It is free2play in a way that you get the game and the first 3 civilizations for free and can buy additional ones for a small fee. Offline playing is possible and I’ve never seen any ads in it.

    Oh, and of course try Gwent.
    This is a CCG in the world of The Witcher - known from the books, the games and of course the Netflix series too.
    It’s free to play, and very generous to free players. No ads, no pay2win, and you gain ressources to craft your cards very fast.
    If you want to see some gameplay: I am streaming it every wednesday on Twitch.
